☆ Sonar imagery may have located Amelia Earhart’s long-lost plane, researchers say
  + stars: | 2024-01-30 | by ( Taylor Nicioli | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Amelia Earhart is photographed with her Lockheed Model 10-E Electra, the aircraft she used in her attempted flight around the world. “While it is possible that this could be a plane and maybe even Amelia’s plane, it is too premature to say that definitively. In Earhart’s last communications, her radio transmissions progressively got stronger as she got closer to Howland Island, indicating that she was nearing the island before she disappeared, Cochrane said. For that reason, you can never say that something is (or isn’t) from a sonar image alone,” Jourdan said in an email. Confirming that the found anomaly is Earhart’s plane would require returning to the site to further investigate the plane, and more definitively, locating the certification “NR16020” that was printed on the underside of the missing Lockheed’s wing, Jourdan said.

The 1972 Apollo 17 lunar module’s ascent from the Moon was captured by a camera mounted on a rover left behind on the lunar surface and controlled from Earth, although social media posts are using the video to question whether the mission ever happened. Another post sharing the module’s ascent via Facebook, comments: “Despite the technology not existing to stream or download this footage being filmed ‘from the moon’, so many people were duped…” (here). The clip contains authentic footage of the Apollo 17 lunar module’s ascent from the Moon that is viewable via the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (bit.ly/43ZIG39). According to the museum, the ascent was captured by a camera left behind on the surface, controlled from Earth through an antenna on a lunar rover vehicle that was also left behind (here). The Apollo 17 ascent from the lunar surface was captured via a camera mounted onto a lunar rover that was left behind.
